Tip for Working in the Round and Changing Colors Often

It makes it so much easier at the end of your project to crochet over your tails when working in the round, especially Round 1. Then you have less tails to sew in at the end and can just clip them off!

The Pattern

Round 1

CH 3

SL ST to form a ring

CH 2

9 SC in the ring (10 SC total)

Join to beginning CH 2 with a SL ST

Round 2

You could change colors here – if you do, join with a SL ST and continue below

CH 2

Work 2 HDC’s in the same space as the CH 2 (the beginning CH 2 isn’t technically in it’s own space, so you’re really working next to it, but that’s how it’s called in a pattern)

*Skip 1 space

Work 3 HDC’s in the next space

CH 2*

Repeat from * around until you have worked 5 sets of HDCs

Join to beginning CH 2 in 1 strand of the 2nd CH (this helps to keep that first set of 3 together and not separate the CH 3 from the set)

Round 3

The only difference between rounds 2 and 3 is that you CH 3 instead of 2, in between the granny stitches of 3 HDCs

You could change colors here – if you do, join with a SL ST and continue below

CH 2

Work 2 HDC’s in the same space as the CH 2 (the beginning CH 2 isn’t technically in it’s own space, so you’re really working next to it, but that’s how it’s called in a pattern)

*Skip 1 space

Work 3 HDC’s in the next space

CH 3*

Repeat from * around until you have worked 5 sets of HDCs

Join to beginning CH 2 in 1 strand of the 2nd CH (this helps to keep that first set of 3 together and not separate the CH 3 from the set)

And that’s it! Easy peasy. I could make a bunch of these in one sitting. They’re perfect to accessorize hats, purses, blankets, sweaters, bags and more!
